The Competition Bureau of Canada conducted a study to explore how governments across Canada can promote greater competition in the retail grocery industry, which can lead to lower prices, more convenience, and more innovation for consumers. The study found that Canada’s grocery industry is not as competitive as it could be, and that consumers are paying the price for it.
Small format stores are likely to play an increasingly important role in grocery retailing in Canada in the forecast period, as they offer convenience, variety, and fresh products to the growing number of busy urban consumers. They also allow retailers to adapt to changing consumer preferences, such as personalisation, sustainability, and home meal replacement.
Sobeys dominates the supermarkets channel and is set to be at the forefront of innovation during the forecast period. Sobeys has launched Project Horizon, a new three-year strategy to boost market share and make gains in Canadian grocery e-commerce.

Supermarkets are chained or independent retail outlets with a selling space of between 400 and 2,500 square metres and with a primary focus on selling food/beverages/tobacco and other groceries. Supermarkets may also sell a selection of non-groceries, but the product mix is skewed towards grocery items. Example brands include Casino, Kroger, and Tesco. Exception: In some markets, primarily the US, Australia and Hong Kong, there are grocery retailer brands that operate outlets with a selling space of over 2,500 square metres, but offer only a very limited range of non-grocery merchandise or none at all. These brands are included in Supermarkets.
